KGTV 10 Anchors David Ono & Michelle Tuzee introduced the
segment and Holly Herbert reported on Ken's work with Maynard, Mary Linfesti's Double Yellow Headed Amazon. Mary had saved Maynard's life
eighteen years earlier when she noticed a strange sight. In the middle of the street
a parrot was being
mauled by a cat. Mary chased the cat away, took Maynard to a vet and
brought him back to health.
Eighteen years later, Maynard is left with scars far
deeper than his deformed wing. In all that time, he has never allowed
Mary to get close to him. Instead he lives in a hostile, terrified,
aggressive state, biting anyone who comes close. Mary was at the end
of her rope when she contacted Ken for help. By the end of the
session, Ken got Maynard through the "wall of fear" and on the way to
becoming a happy, social bird. And Mary was finally able to handle
Maynard for the first time.
